A Small World After All: from Fannie Mae to 9/11

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | April 7, 2015

Robert Kagan (CFR)

Robert Kagan (CFR)

The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was founded in 1997 by William Kristol and CFR member  Robert Kagan. It was disbanded in 2006. Robert Kagan is married to Victoria Nuland the current Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs at the United States Department of State. She is the one –you might recall– who was caught on the phone planning the replacement government in Kiev after the US-backed coup in Ukraine in February, 2014. The media dutifully focused all attention on Victoria’s “F**k the EU” comment and ignored the important fact that it was the USA who was behind the Ukrainian coup  as this tape clearly shows.

BTW, prior to the February 2014 over-throw of the democratically elected government in Ukraine, the CIA had spent $5 billion to foment unrest in Ukraine to facilitate this putsch in Kiev. This tinkering by the Nuland gang, has cost the lives of thousands of innocent, Russian-speaking men, women and children in the Donbass area of Ukraine.

Now back to Victoria’s husband’s project called PNAC: Notice this interesting quote from PNAC prior to 9/11:… the transformation of American armed forces through “new technologies and operational concepts” was likely to be a long one, “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.[emphasis mine]   Of the twenty-five people who signed the PNAC’s founding statement of principles, ten went on to serve in the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush, including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz. Notice that PNAC expresses a need for a new Pearl Harbor. The obvious question is: Was 9/11 their ‘New Pearl Harbor’?

In the November/December 1998 edition of the CFR’s magazine called Foreign Affairs, you will notice numerous references to CIA-backed Usama bin Ladin, Catastrophic Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Pearl Harbor and the World Trade Center all prior to 9/11.  Prior to 9/11 all the necessary ingredients were clearly on the CFR’s radar being telegraphed or put into the pot for cooking.

In this same November/December 1998 edition there is an article entitled Catastrophic Terrorism: Tackling the New Danger by Ashton B. Carter, John Deutch, and Philip Zelikow (CFR) which is of particular interest considering this was prior to 9/11.

Philip Zelikow (CFR)

Philip Zelikow (CFR)

And let us not forget that Philip Zilakow (CFR) –author of the above article– was the executive director of the 9/11 Commission report who had many conflicts of interests and was caught calling the WH –which was not permitted– many times during the ‘Investigation’ and he was also caught trying to cover up these calls…and is credited with limiting the scope of the investigation.

 

From Rense.com: In 1998, Zelikow actually wrote Catastrophic Terrorism about imagining “the transformative event” three years before 9/11. Here are Zelikow’s 1998 words; Readers should imagine the possibilities for themselves, because the most serious constraint on current policy [nonaggression] is lack of imagination. An act of catastrophic terrorism that killed thousands or tens of thousands of people and/or disrupted the necessities of life for hundreds of thousands, or even millions, would be a watershed event in America’s history. It could involve loss of life and property unprecedented for peacetime and undermine Americans’ fundamental sense of security within their own borders in a manner akin to the 1949 Soviet atomic bomb test, or perhaps even worse. Constitutional liberties would be challenged as the United States sought to protect itself from further attacks by pressing against allowable limits in surveillance of citizens, detention of suspects, and the use of deadly force. More violence would follow, either as other terrorists seek to imitate this great “success” or as the United States strikes out at those considered responsible. Like Pearl Harbor, such an event would divide our past and future into a “before” and “after.” The effort and resources we devote to averting or containing this threat now, in the “before” period, will seem woeful, even pathetic, when compared to what will happen “after.” Our leaders will be judged negligent for not addressing catastrophic terrorism more urgently.

And let us not forget that the World Trade Center was attacked by an FBI operative in 1993 –with FBI foreknowledge and help.  There is no question that the FBI was complicit in this first World Trade Center attack.  The obvious question is: “Was the FBI orchestrated attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, just a trial run?”

Being well-connected … that would be Jamie … though she had no experience… she was a key player in the Fannie Mae debacle and the 9/11 report… what did she do worth $26 million?

9/11 Commission | Jamie Gorelick lower right

Jamie Gorelick, while serving in the Department of Justice under the Clinton administration, developed the policy (the “wall memo”) that prevented communication between various government law enforcement and intelligence agencies, specifically the FBI and CIA. She also is on the board of United Technologies. Gorelick’s firm has agreed to represent Prince Mohammed al Faisal in the suit by the 9/11 families. The families contend that al Faisal has legal responsibility for the 9/11 attacks.

Even though she had no previous training nor experience in finance, Gorelick was appointed Vice Chairman of Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) from 1997 to 2003. She served alongside former Clinton Administration official Franklin Raines. During that period, Fannie Mae developed a $10 billion accounting scandal.

On March 25, 2002, Business Week interviewed Gorelick about the health of Fannie Mae. Gorelick is quoted as saying, “We believe we are managed safely. We are very pleased that Moody’s gave us an A-minus in the area of bank financial strength – without a reference to the government in any way. Fannie Mae is among the handful of top-quality institutions.” One year later, Government Regulators “accused Fannie Mae of improper accounting to the tune of $9 billion in unrecorded losses”.

In an additional scandal concerning falsified financial transactions that helped the company meet earnings targets for 1998, a “manipulation” that triggered multimillion-dollar bonuses for top executives, Gorelick received $779,625.

Investigation by the OFHEO detailed in their official report on the accounting scandal in 2006 on page 66 that from 1998 to 2002 Gorelick received a total of $26,466,834.00 in income.

Operation Gladio Basics

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | Feb 8, 2015

Started as aDavid Brown Pic SnapShot left behind strategy after WWII to counter a potential Warsaw Pact invasion of Europe, Operation Gladio  quickly morphed into a “strategy of tension” used by NATO to shape public opinion with false flag operations employing rightwing terrorists; first in the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombings  killing 17 people and wounding 88.  Gladio was so successful in shaping public opinion after the Piazza Fontana bombings in Italy that NATO and the CIA continued Gladio, improving and modifying to include regime change via a putsch.  This is Gladio A.  Later, in Turkey, Islamist terrorist were used as proxies for the first time in what became known as Gladio B.  Gladio B employed Al-Qaeda, then ISIS to perform Gladio operations. However, in the case of Ukraine, A & B were mixed slightly with the use primarily of neo-Nazis (A) in Kiev and a small smattering of Islamists (B) further east.  During the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, much of the more technical aspects of Gladio was likely outsourced to private military companies (PMCs).  According to Kelley Vlahos’ article on ‘A Blackwater World Order’: “From 1999 to 2008, at the peak of the wars, Pentagon spending on outsourcing alone increased from $165 billion to $466 billion a year.”  It is important to note that many of these operations –as in the case of Ukraine– start with Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) which are in reality CIA fronts or cutout organizations which the target countries naively accept as a positive influence or assistance.  These operations are guided by the geopolitical goals outlined in the Wolfowitz Doctrine and the Grand Chessboard by Zbigniew Brzezinski with input and coordination from the CFR, The Royal Institute of International Affairs and GCHQ and no doubt the HIGHLANDS forum/group.  All of these organizations support the larger financial interests which control the FSB (Financial Stability Board), the BIS (Bank for International Settlements)  and Central Banks.  The origins of this control structure and their tactics can be found in Carroll Quigley’s ‘Anglo-American Establishment’ and ‘Tragedy and Hope’ among other historical, investigative books.

Ukraine: USA/NATO aka Murder, Inc.

Ukraine 22607955099_nUSA/NATO aka Murder, Inc.

It is no secret tDonbas_no the informed that the US and NATO have orchestrated and funded last year’s coup in Kiev and continue to foment the conflict in Ukraine after installing their own puppet government at the seat of power in Kiev.  The result, is the wholesale murder and slaughter of innocent men, women and children to please Ukraine’s new ‘Anglo-American Establishment‘ masters.
Some frequent updates on the conflict in Ukraine are available from ‘Bürgerinitiative für Frieden in der Ukraine’ (Citizens’ Initiative for Peace in Ukraine) on Facebook HERE. (In German, but can be easily translated in most cases with one click.)

Here’s one example of the near real-time reporting available with videos and pictures …

+++ Video +++ UKRA FASCIST artillery BOMBED residential areas of the city STAKHANOV in LUGANSK. +++ A reporter of life News TV station interviewed citizens of the city of 75,000 residents Stakhanov in Lugansk, whose Stadt weeks massively destroyed by the ukra fascist of heavy artillery and zerbwird!

The people flee in the direction of Lugansk, including many families with children. They had a long time hiding in their cellars from the bomb attacks of nag, but now many houses no longer stand. Almost all residential areas of the city Stakhanov are bombed!

In the video, you can see several sad scenes. One it shows how ordinary citizens of the town berries must – things their killed relatives while in the background the ukra fascist artillery further bombed their town!

At the beginning of the video, the man shows that the artillery of the Kiev regime shoots just in the city. Schools, school facilities and residential, without any strategic or military significance be met!

This is a blatant genocide of the Donbass population – in the middle of Europe! And the world is silent!

The war criminals in Kiev may bomb continue with impunity entire cities and civilian population – without that one critical word from the EU comes!

Of the United States, we want to not even talk because they are the mainstay of this kriegsverbrecherischen bloody regime in Kiev!

Video here.

The Comments are very telling.  The US and NATO are not fooling these people.  They know full-well who is behind this Operation Gladio.

RUSSIA WANTS WAR

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | November 02, 2014

So the CIA and State Department implemented a not so covert foreign regime change in Russia’s next door neighbor Ukraine, overthrowing the democratically elected government; and then magically the U.S. blamed Russia as the aggressor; the United States’ newly minted puppet government then started bombing innocent Russians in central and eastern Ukraine killing thousands of innocent civilians. Crimea which is mostly Russian voted overwhelmingly to join Russia for protection. The U.S. MSM chirped right in telling the world how evil Putin was and that he amazingly was the aggressor and that he had designs to relive the glory of the old USSR. All 100% B.S. The US psychopaths in Ukraine’s capital in the West, Kiev, continued to bomb and butcher innocent civilians in the Donets Basin or Donbas region of Ukraine. BTW, proving once again that the word of America is worthless, In 1990 Moscow was assured that there would be no expansion of NATO into Eastern Europe. In exchange for Moscow permitting a reunified Germany to be a NATO member.

“The corrupt and duplicitous Clinton regime broke the agreement that the George H.W. Bush administration gave Moscow in 1990. In exchange for Moscow permitting a reunified Germany to be a NATO member, Washington agreed that there would be no expansion of NATO to the east. Gorbachev, US Secretary of State James Baker, US ambassador to Moscow Jack Matlock, and declassified documents all testify to the fact that Moscow was assured that there would be no expansion of NATO into Eastern Europe.”

–October 6, 2014 Paul Craig Roberts

Now, the U.S. has implemented economic sanctions against Russia which have damaged the Russian economy. This, BTW is an act of war. Russia has been backed into a corner and still has nuclear weapons. Obama and team are playing a dangerous game of lies and deceit.

The US caught on the phone planning the overthrow of the democratically elected government in Ukraine. BTW, the U.S. spent $5 billion on covert NGOs to foment civil war along the Gladio operation MO. This included hiring snipers to shoot and kill both the Ukraine police and the protestors.

Cut-out of a phone call between two American fun guys talking about maidan’s puppets. The actors are: Victoria Nuland: US-Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Geoffrey R. Pyatt: United States Ambassador to Ukraine.

Donetsk Republic Sends Captured Ukrainian Soldiers Home to Mothers and Wives

ukraine-23600_640Folks, it is important to remember that the war in Ukraine was a creation of the U.S. and NATO, not Ukraine or Russia. After spending $5 billion of your tax dollars to foment civil unrest in Ukraine, the U.S. has removed the democratically elected government and installed its own puppet. The IMF has promised massive loans to the new U.S. puppet government.  Kiev, the capital of Ukraine has been bombing civilian targets in Eastern Ukraine indiscriminately. The video below is a capture of Kiev (US / NATO backed) soldiers who surrendered to the militia in Eastern Ukraine now called the Donetsk Republic. This new republic, represents their attempt to separate from the US controlled Western Ukraine and secure peace and democracy. What you are hearing from Washington and their state media gatekeepers are lies. This is an orchestrated fight to surround Russia with NATO forces which violates an agreement that the West made to Russia after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The U.S. is trying to bully Russia and foment a confrontation with Russia. Don’t be the fool here. Don’t support yet another illegal war. Get a clue.  -db

PCR (Paul Craig Roberts):

“Donetsk Republic Sends Captured Ukrainian Soldiers Home to Mothers and Wives”

“This is an extremely interesting 9 minute video from the Donetsk Republic. It shows extraordinary humane treatment and release of captured Ukrainian soldiers. The Christian behavior of the Donetsk Republic puts to shame the crude barbarians who rule in America and Europe and the media shills who whore for the Western barbarians.”
